Is this sentence gramatically correct?

Question

"However, the less suffering that they endure, the more tranquility that can be spread."

If something should be fixed, please say so. Thank you.

Answer 1

The idiom reads "the more .../the more (less)" (without "that"). Also these two adverbs ("more" and "less") are placed before adjectives ("more/less beautiful"), adverbs ("to speak more/less quickly") and verbs ("the more she studies" [...]). Therefore, the sentence above should be as follows:

"However, the less they suffer, the more tranquil they become."

Answer 2

It just doesn't sound right somehow. I think the subject should be more clearly stated. (It would help if you included the before and after sentance to provide some context.)

However, the less XXXX endures suffering, the more tranquility they can spread.

However, with less suffering, the more tranquility can be spread by XXXX.

or, I can't tell out of context, but should endure maybe be past tense.

However, the less suffering is endured, the more tranquility can be spread by XXXX. (you should state who) ?

Answer 3

However, the less suffering that they endure, the more tranquility can be spread."
and the word is ENDURE.
Looks and sounds better this way but i am no expert

Answer 4

Microsoft Word suggested to take the comma out after endure.

However, the less suffering that they indure, the more tranquility can be spread is what it should be
